I wouldn't say it's too much of a stretch to think that SAO could also do something similar.

I was providing a possible scenario where someone could somehow be one shot killed without having to involve something like massive level disparity. Obviously if you're thinking you're going to get assassinated in the middle of a safe zone you don't go around de-equipping your battle equipment ever.
Especially when you consider that the game might be simulating weight or other factors that literally make armor less comfortable. The idea of having casual clothes for when you're not fighting makes a lot of sense.
